Permissible and Impermissible employment

Employment involving the sale or handling of haraam items

Q: It seems that most jobs I’m qualified for are somehow indirectly related to the sale of haram items. I’ve seen Muslims working at these places, so I was wondering if I’m just overthinking about these things. The job I was thinking of getting is a stocking job where I may have to put haram products on the shelves of the stores. Is it haram for me to work at such a job?

Hiring someone to go fishing

Q: I have a few friends who go fishing and hire boys to assist them while fishing. The boys prepare the rods for them, ensure that there is enough fishing line on the rod, and place the bait on the rod, etc. At times, these boys also hold the rod and fish when my friends want a break. If they catch any fish, they give it to my friends. Is this permissible?
